Re: Could 0ad be backported?

Ok, I misunderstood you indeed! :)

Btw apt pinning however workable it might be in this case, it is not always a good idea or even feasible as often packages in testing are not installable in stable without first rebuilding them.

Hi Mattia.
I did not explain myself well: 0ad is playable on Debian stable, however there
is no "easy" way to play the current upstream release on Debian stable.

Stable has 0ad version 0.0.23, whereas the current upstream release is 0.0.25b,
available on testing. Since it has been done in the past I asked if it made
sense to backport the current upstream version from testing.

By the way, I have followed Alex's suggestion and I have installed 0ad using
apt pinning. However I think it would be easier for most users to download the
upstream release from backports.

Thank you for all the answers.
